2. Alfred Hitchcock
Hitchcock used point of view shots to create an
immersive sense.
Over the shoulder shots are often used as well.
The camera would often sway or be shaky to
emphasize human qualities.

Wide angle shots
Tracking shots
A sense of coldness in most scenes.
4. Christopher Nolan
Uses very ‘grey’ characters and uses colour
correction to show this off.
His storytelling is not usually connected easily. He
forces the viewer to make sense of the film.
Most of Nolan’s films end with a twist ending. He
likes to surprise the viewer with a final plot twist.
5. Ridley Scott
Uses fog and other effects to create dark and
tense atmospheres.
Uses animated and moving backgrounds.
Scott often uses mise-en-scene to help the story
of his films.
The end result of Ridley Scott’s films are often
breathtaking in the form of their cinematography.
6. Quentin Tarantino
Uses slow motion and utilizes facial expressions
of characters.
Uses the idea of a ‘standoff’ to create tension in
his scenes.
Zooms in quickly on characters an objects to
emphasize their importance/ expression.
